A massive explosion has ripped through a region in China.
Bright flames and black smoke were seen from what is thought to be a chemical factory this evening.
The explosion was seen and heard in the industrial zone of Lijin, Dongying City of Shandong, just before 11.30pm local time.
It is not yet known if there are any injuries or fatalities.
The explosion was reported by the People's Daily newspaper - the Communist Party-owned publication.
No further details have yet been released.
The blast comes just a fortnight after another huge explosion in the country killed dozens and injured hundreds.

Is this number 3? If it is it can’t be a coincidence. Terrorism?

The idea that this is internecine political war becomes less fanciful.

Muslims, insurance scam, or just malcontents? This is pushing it for “chance.”

With prices crumbling in China and debt-service a big problem for most industrial producers, don’t rule out deliberate sabotage for insurance or debt-forgiveness as a motivation.

Three’s no coincidence. Be interesting to know how many of the three were state-owned enterprises.

A lot more ‘accidents’ seem to happen when stocks are crashing, as opposed to life when there’s a roaring bull market.
